To the Politicians of the United States :— 

It is with no other feelings than those of a friend, that I 
present to you the Second Edition of the Politician’s Register; 
a few errors which occurred in the former edition, having been 
corrected, and the returns of the August and September elec¬ 
tions being included, the compiler presents it to the public 
as being one of the most accurate of the kind that has ever 
been published. In conclusion, he has only to say, that in com¬ 
piling he has been entirely free from any party leniency.

+In these Counties the Congress vote of ’39 was not a test, and the vote for President in ’36 
is repealed in the column of ’40. tThis includes the voles on the back of the poll; the 
Whig candidate has 209 to 207 upon the face of it. HThe vote for Bayly (Ind) and Cropper, 
(Whig)—not strictly parly. §The vote for Senator. In the rest of the Counties, the vote for 
Deleglites in 1840 is given. Of the votes cast in the Counties contested in 1840, the Whigs

best test of party strength. §Round Grove precinct not included. In all the remaining 
Counties the vote for 1840 is taken from a table in the Register—the Van Buren btate paper

Those States marked with a star, elect this year members of Congress on the 
same day that State otlicers are chosen. There is no State election this year in 
Tennessee—the Legislature of that State is chosen once in two years, on the first 
Wednesday of August. In New York the election continues for three days in all 
the State but the city of New York. There the election is held in one day, and 
this year on the 4th of November. 

The whole number of electors is 294—necessary to elect a President, 143.

EXTRACTS 

From Laics relative to J^aturalization. 

The fjllo'.ving very brief exposition of the existing Laws relative to Naturalization, is be¬ 
lieved to be accurate, and it is hoped may prove intelligible and useful. 

Among the powers confided to Congress by the Constitution, is that of establishing a uni - 
form rule of Naturalization throughout the United States. This power is in its nature exclu¬ 
sive, and consequently cannot be exercised by any one of the states. 

Congress has made provision for the naturalization only, of free white persons. 

A pplication for naturalization may be made to any Circuit, or District, or Territorial Court 
of the United States, or 

It may be made to any State Court, being a Court of Record, having common law jurisdic¬ 
tion, and having a seal, and a Clerk or Prothonotary. Act of the 11th April, 1802, ss. 1 & 2, 
3 vol. L. U. S. p. 475. e > , , 

The applicant must prove to the satisfaction of the Court, by one competent witness, that 
he has re-sided for five years last past, within the U nits, and under the jurisdiction of the 
U. States, without having been at any time during the five years, out of the Territory of the 
United States. Act of the 14ih April 1802, ss. 1 & 2, and act of the 3d of March 1613, s. 14, 
Svol.L. U. S. p. 514. ’ ’ 

The applicant must also prove, that he h's resided one year at least, next preceding his 
application in the State or Territory, in which the Court is silting. 

To prove residence the oath of the applicant is not competent.—It may be proved by one 
witness. 

The applicant must prove that he has declared his intention to become a citizen at least 
two years before. 

This declaration may be made before any one of the Courts before mentioned, or before a 
Clerk of one of the said Courts. 

The declaration must be proved by the production of a certificate thereof, signed by the 
clerk of said court, with the seal of the court annexed. 

The applicant must prove by one competent witness, that he is a man of good moral char¬ 
acter, attached to the principles of the constitution, and well disposed to life good order and 
prosperity of the United States. 

Any fr“e white alien, who came to the United States between the 11th of April 1802 and 
the 18th of June 1812, is entitled to be naturalized, without having declared his intention to 
become a citizen. His (pialifications in other respects must be the same as the before men¬ 
tioned, and his reside ce for the last five years of the lime must be proved by two witnesses, 
citizens of the United Stales. 

Any such alien arriving in the United States under eighteen years of age, and continuing 
to reside therein for five years, may also be naturalized, without having made a declaration 
of intention to become a citizen before a court of record, but h-j must swear or affirm that it 
has been his intention to become a citizen for three years last past—and shew that he pos¬ 
sesses the other qualifications. One competent witness is sufficient in this case.

anything concerning it.— Comp.
